NEW MOON
Cast in golden bronze, the Lunette Vessel sink from Stone Forest’s award-winning Bronze Chalice design series has a shape that mimics a sliver of the moon. Textured and sculptural, it was designed by Santa Fe artist David Hoptman, and is available through Clyde Hardware, (602) 264-2106.

WRITE ON
Solid American white oak with a low-sheen Woodstone finish, combined with an ample application of metal, gives the Forecast Console Desk from Universal Furniture an industrial edge. Its double sawhorse-style base supports a simple top with three drawers. Spare in form and versatile, it measures 60"W by 22"D by 30"H and is available through Thomasville of Arizona, (480) 348-2700.

ROCK ON
Interlocking-Rock 3-D wall panels from modularArts have a sculpted appearance resulting from a combination of raised and inset forms that can be enhanced with any interior paint or finish. Composed of cast rock, the panels are lightweight, noncombustible, and mount easily over pre-existing drywall. For purchasing information, call (206) 788-4210.
